    BIN's if priced reasonably. There are not a lot of bidding wars on ebid so if you do list as an auction only list at the lowest price you are willing to accept and add a BIN price too. Also if you are seller plus and add a barcode or exemption to an item priced £1 or over it will get uplisted to google

    What Penni said. BINs get uploaded to Google shopping, so it's a good idea to add a BIN price to items even if you also list auction style. And definitely start at the lowest price you'd be willing to accept for auction listings as there aren't a lot of bidding wars and you likely don't want to list and sell something for one cent that's worth a bit more.

    If you want to check out items with bids, check out the Popular Items link on the homepage.

    Oh and welcome to eBid.

    Best wishes for many sales to all,

    I list with a price which is the lowest I'll accept, and use a BIN of what I would like to get, (not usually much higher).
    I find that most of my sales are BIN.
    I think people must like the immediacy of BIN, and I don't suppose the Google upload hurts..
